The current study aimed to evaluate knowledge and perceptions of, and attitudes toward, the criteria used to select formulary drugs among UAE healthcare organizations. Typically, drugs are selected depending on specific criteria, including cost, quality, safety, and efficacy. The formulary is also required to be consistent with any regional or national formulary treatment guidelines. The study found an average attitude score of 84.5%, indicating that several people had a good attitude about the criteria used in drug formulary selection. In detail, 69.2% had a good attitude, 27.7% had a moderate attitude, and only 3.1% had a poor attitude. A substantial percentage of the participants indicated that they have a good attitude indicating they are optimistic about the criteria used to select formulary drugs. A study by Matiala et al. reveal that there is difference in the medication review process based on costs, patient safety, and clinical experience [25]. Furthermore, Sharma et al. did a similar study in India and found that many practitioners believe that a well-developed formulary can advance the public health care system's quality [26]. Moreover, the study indicates that the practitioners noted that using formulary medicines reduces their autonomy and restricts the flexibility and individuality of the patient [26]. The study also found that Males have a better attitude about the criteria used in drug formulary selection when compared to their female counterparts. Again, Alarifi [27] and Bilal et al. [28] report that most healthcare professionals have knowledge and positive attitude toward generic medicine and its selection criteria. Bagga [29] also reports that pharmacists and doctors are knowledgeable about the use of formulary. Furthermore, Yimenu et al. [30] and Alsuhebany et al. [31], reveal that most doctors and pharmacists prefer know about and prefer the criteria deployed in drug formulary selection. The International Pharmaceutical Federation contend that drug formulary selection criteria is part of good pharmacy practice [32]. Besides, Seid et al. [33] and Goshime [34] also reveal that pharmacists have a more knowledge about drug formulary selection criteria and adverse drug reaction than other healthcare professionals.
